Sorry. New fiesta St, 180 bhp one. And yes the build quality is fine. My Leon's held together as well as my audi. Few squeaks out of the dash if I had to pick. Also agree with the comments. My leon very planted but ultimately quite boring. Can return a very good pace and maintain a 35+...

I like these aswell. BUT,,,, For the same money you can have a ibiza Cupra tdi. Which has 160 bhp out the box, shorter final drive, a bigger turbo good for 200bhp and ap 4 pot breaks. Plus a black interior, which for me is essential as I'm a messy sod Run a mapped leon cupra TDI 150 as my...

Where can you buys these from ? Has any one tried the linkage rebuild kits from ebay. My new cup it's literally like storing a spoon in porridge

Forgot to take a picture. But they've got std ally ( I assume ) spigot rings in them.

I've got proper oz f1s on my Clio ( not renault zones) I'll have a look when I take the wheel of later

Why ? The std top mounts are awful. Putting pms top mounts on my other wise std trophy made such an improvement. Plus if you take them of you'll have a load of wholes in your turret

With out proper mapping most modern cars ( especially a 182 where the cat is pretty efficient) will loose power by decating.

Both of my 182s ( firstly was a trophy with a scorpion rs192, second is a cup with a ktec racing exhaust) were slower once decated. I reffited the cat to both but cut the 'bell and cup' joint of and welded a sleeve on to maintain the diameter. Gained 3mpg from both aswell.

I had a trophy. Refurbed the dampers and changed every bush on it Sold it as wanted a turbo again. I now have a 182 cup. Which I've put on Billstien b14s. And I've fitted proper non flip forward Recaros from a Evo My cup drives better for sure. I hates the trophy seats. Gave me a bad back...

I've just gone from a 172 on b14s To a 182 cup with fresh shocks and cooksports Actually prefere the cooksports.

Mines a 5inch mongoose system and blocker. The blocker was hks Just to reiterate though. DONT DRIVE HARD WITH IT IN. :wink:

I got a bung for my focus rs. Only for long journys on the motorway though. Certainly wouldn't consider driving on boost with it in Created a huge amount of back pressure

The front shocks are held in by the top mount and top nut? Very common design. There's a big rubber bush at the top of the shock with a penny bearing underneath. This sits up against the bottom of the shock tower and the the large but and plate bolt to the shock from the inside if the...

Nips. Might stick with the brembos I've got and use 280 mm std discs then. Cheers

Looking at eating some hi spec front breaks, 4 pots, 2 piece discs 300mm I've got 2118 speedlines in 15" and a set of oz f1s ( proper ones not the renault type ) I know 280s go under but has any one tried 300mm breaks under 15s. Cheers
